Coffee with Tim Wendelboe

In 2009, Tim Wendelboe, a former World Barista Champion (2004) and World Tasting Champion (2005) whose eponymous coffee shop and roaster in Oslo has become a destination for coffee pilgrims on the order of Lourdes or Fallingwater, wrote a book on coffee. It was released in English in 2010 as Coffee With Tim Wendelboe. The slim volume is the most complete portrait of this moment in coffee to date.

Everything but Espresso

Professional Coffee Brewing Techniques

When I began in the coffee business fourteen years ago, I read every book I could find about coffee. After reading all of those books, however, I felt as if I hadn't learned much about how to make great coffee. My coffee library was chock-full of colorful descriptions of brewing styles, growing regions, and recipes, with a few almost-unreadable scientific books mixed in. I would have traded in all of those books for one serious, practical book with relevant information about making great coffee in a cafe. Fourteen years later, I still hadn't found that book. I know many other professionals as well as some obsessive nonprofessionals would like to find that same book I've been looking for. This book is my attempt to give it to them. Scott Rao
